from the doc:
"Cookies are part of the HTTP header, so   setcookie() must be called before 
any output is sent to   the browser.  This is the same limitation that header() 
  has."

Subject: [PHP] setcookie

Hi,

I am learning PHP, I am trying to set a simple cookie:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Cookies</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        
        <?php setcookie('test', 45, time()+(60*60*24*7)); ?>
        
    </body>
</html>

Firefox is returning this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by  
(output started at /Users/Daff/Sites/php_sandbox/cookies.php:7) in / 
Users/Daff/Sites/php_sandbox/cookies.php on line 7

I have googled this and can't find out what I am doing wrong.  Any  
help you could give me would be much appreciated.

Tim
